Deej, Coz, Luke Smith...
Whomever is out there.
Please realize the #1 complaint about this game is that effort and time drastically outweigh the frequency of drops for your end-game content. Destiny's economy has been nerfed over and over and over again. It takes hours of farming just to upgrade ROUTINE guns, not even the special stuff. A 2+ hour raid can land you with ZERO raid drops and often without any drops that help your character progress. You have randomized the quality of the item without adjusting for the rate of its drop.
It all boils down to turning destiny into a 2nd job. And it's not one that people are going to stick with for the next 6 months if all of these micro grinds continue to lengthen. We're all just waiting for you to start up the pay-to-win XP boosts, item drop boosts, hell maybe even actual engram packs or something from Eververse. It seems inevitable with how much longer it takes to do ANYTHING in this game anymore.
Please, pay attention to your community. [b]Your livelihood DEPENDS on it.[/b]
At least quests are good where they are.

I also played the game for recreation. While the 1st year grind was tolerable, it was real fun - just barely enjoyable. The most fun for me was to help noobs, and to play with s few of my real-life friends. Yes I have had a fairly large "online" friends list, but most of them were on again- off again friends that would ask for help more often than they were offering (and many times just said no.) While I did play things with my friends, they no longer want anything to do with Destiny. I have enjoyed doing things solo, but they have made much of the fun stuff impossible to do alone. So now, if there is something that I want to do, that requires friends, I need to go to LFG site - which I don't do; in other words, I don't do those activities anymore either. It is a lot a job. One that you are paying to do, rather than being paid. I could go on, but.... nah!
